Win ME on Win NT 4 domain network - need help

[Banditbanger]

Hi,

I work for a company which has a Win NT domain network. I also own a portable computer with Win ME. I can log on to the domain and I can also see (and of course ping) other computers on the network. The problem arises when I try to use some network resources, like printers (they install without a problem, but when I try to print I get "an error occured during printing, the file waiting was deleted), and also some other connections (I cannot see all of the folders on the server, even though from other computers they can be seen. I also tried search, but didnt find it).
In my office there is a second computer with Win ME and same problems, and I cant even use the printer on that computer, even though I can see it and install it. Even when using shared folders on that computer, I sometimes have problems and get messages like "disk is full", and the file I was trying to copy is there and 0 bites long (I cant even delete it not from my nor from the other computer).

Is this the problem with settings or is it a Win ME bug or the computer "wizards" in my company dont know what they are doing (they already spent some 5 hours trying to make it work but didnt succeed).

Thanx for any advice.

Do you login to the network via a domain user ID or you're using the Windows login (domain login has a field for user id, password & domain; windows login has a field for user id and password)?

Have the administrator check the printer permission in the server. It's possible the permission for the printer queue is too restrictive for your account or maybe the computer wizards changed the NTFS permission for the spoolers folder in the server.

I think your computer wizards need properly training.

I login via a domain user ID. I also agree that our "computer wizards" need some serious training, but in the meanwhile I am the one with the problem. It is sad, but it seems I know more about computers then the guys from our IT department even though I am far from being an expert in IT - it is only my hobby.

Well, lets hope they fix the problem before millenium

I login via a domain user ID. It is funny but if I login with the same username and password on another computer running Win NT, everithing works.
